Parallel workflows mean zero bottlenecks. With KIMP’s multiple active requests and parallel workflows, your marketing assets move forward independently of one another.
You don’t have to upgrade your subscription or pay extra to bring in a project manager. Every single plan includes a dedicated Project Manager and three specialized designers, giving you a full creative department without hidden fees.
Full platform access with zero software fees. All plans include full access to KIMP360 and the option to explore our AI-powered dashboard features that speed up your workflow. You do not pay extra to unlock exclusive platform features.
What you see is exactly what you pay. KIMP completely eliminates billing confusion with straightforward, predictable plans. You choose your plan, pay the flat rate and get to work — no hidden components, no confusion.
KIMP’s plans are simple and confusion-free. You don’t have to worry about upgrading your plan just to cover a few additional design types like presentations and illustrations.
You don’t pay extra or move to a higher tier merely to unlock a dedicated design team or PM oversight. Every single plan includes a dedicated design team and a project manager to keep your design workflow running smoothly.
Manage as many brands as you need without upgrading. Whether you are an agency juggling multiple clients or a business with several sub-brands, KIMP lets you add unlimited brand profiles across every single plan we offer.
With KIMP, you don’t pay extra for the essential components that ensure brand consistency, like a dedicated design team. Every single plan includes dedicated creative support.
Communicating with the team is easy. All communication happens within KIMP360 with the additional option to create tasks and get real-time updates on Slack. You don’t have to upgrade to a higher tier to unlock these integrations.
KIMP assigns you not just one designer but a whole team of designers who can work on multiple active requests simultaneously. By running these workflows in parallel rather than one after another, you drastically increase your overall design output every single month.
KIMP completely eliminates daily hourly caps and offers a straightforward, predictable flat rate.
Professional project oversight shouldn’t be treated as an add-on. KIMP automatically includes a dedicated Project Manager and a specialized three-person design team on every single plan at no extra cost.

Why customers prefer KIMP
Discover why teams switch to KIMP and learn how other services compare.
“I have worked with some other services like this and quite frankly. Kimp wins!...They're smart and able to work autonomously, which is great when you have big projects and need someone you can trust.”
“They are creative, fast and efficient. I have worked with other companies similar to Kimp and Kimp is significantly better.”
“After researching many "unlimited graphic design" subscription companies, I settled on trying out Kimp. Long story short, I was so happy with my first free trial design that I switched to a paid membership immediately, and haven't looked back.”
“AWESOME!! Unlimited revision is great! Our project manager really have great customer services! Compared to other services I have used. I don't think i would change to any other companies”
“The best design service we've tried so far. Editable source files and mockups are always provided in addition to the design piece, they have quality control in place, which was not the case for other design services we used.”
“I'm a freelance marketing consultant that offers content strategies that also include deliveries of content with those strategies. I use Kimp to assist with backlog as well as developing the content for our strategies. The customer service is excellent. The designers and editors also stand-out amongst other "unlimited" service providers I've used in the past as well.”
“Best graphics company I've worked with. Kimp creates great designs, they are always extremely professional, quick, and even handle some requests that were a little much. If you're thinking about working with them…just do it. I've worked with 4 other major companies similar to Kimp - I can promise you the best quality, designers, and experience will be with Kimp!”
“We've tried several other unlimited design services in the past, but they often slow everything down—poor communication and long turnaround times mean you barely get anything done. Kimp, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. They're on it every single day, consistently delivering projects and responding to feedback efficiently.”
“I decided to try Kimp to offload the design burden I've had to handle myself. I’ve been impressed with their EXTREMELY quick turnaround times. It’s great that their designers work on x2 active requests at once, and they don’t have to wait for you to ‘approve’ a design before starting on the next. I highly doubt other companies offer this.”
“Kimp have been absolutely amazing. I came to them after using another graphic design service and there is absolutely no comparison. All of my documents, logos and branding are consistent and look very professional. I will continue to use their services and recommend to other businesses also.”
“Great call with punctual and relevant follow up, much better than other firms.”
“I've been working with Kimp for over a year now and they are INCREDIBLE! Seriously, cannot thank them enough. The process, the end product, the communication along the way - it's all so so smooth. I wish other services I worked with were as good as Kimp.”
“Excellent service. They turn around quality promo material for my agency. I will likely cancel a few other services since KIMP can handle the load.”
Beyond subscriptions
Here’s how four design service models really compare once you account for the cost, ownership and ability to scale.
| Criteria |
|
Freelancers | Traditional design agencies | AI tools |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Flat monthly rate | Hourly or project-based | Hourly/project-based, and monthly retainers in some cases | Per-seat subscription |
| Turnaround | 24–48 hours | Variable, based on the freelancer’s bandwidth | Variable | The first draft is instant. Refinement varies. |
| Revisions | Unlimited | Limited | Contract-bound | Unlimited prompting, but no human guidance |
| Scope | Broad — graphic design and motion graphics | Limited | Limited | Limited to what the tool can generate |
| Contract | None | Yes | Yes | None |
| Workflow | Central dashboard (KIMP360) | Scattered | Often scattered, or through a client portal and email | Self-managed prompting |
| Design Ownership | Full — source files included | Available at extra cost in some cases | Available at extra cost in some cases | Files are yours, but often can’t be edited; usage rights vary by tool |
| Scaling Flexibility | Easy | Difficult | Expensive | Depends on your own design skill and availability |
Still weighing it up?
Five quick questions. We’ll tell you honestly whether a subscription, a freelancer or an agency fits you best — even if the answer isn’t KIMP.
Your best fit
A freelancer is likely the best fit. You have occasional design needs, a straightforward workload, and prefer the affordability of working directly with an individual designer.
Your best fit
With your ongoing design needs and focus on brand consistency, KIMP’s flexible plans and flat monthly rates are what you need.
Your best fit
A design agency is likely the best fit. Your priorities extend beyond producing design assets — you need strategic brand development, complex creative direction, and a fully managed creative partnership.
Pick an answer — we’ll move you to the next question
Freelancers usually mean hourly or project based pricing, limited revisions, and scaling that gets harder as your needs grow. KIMP gives you a dedicated team of 3 design specialists plus a Project Manager on every plan, unlimited revisions, and a flat monthly rate with no contract required.
Traditional agencies often come with retainers, contract terms, and workflows split across email and client portals. KIMP runs everything through one central dashboard (KIMP360), includes full design ownership with source files, and lets you scale up or down without renegotiating anything.
The biggest differences show up in what’s included by default. With KIMP, every plan, not just the highest tier, includes a dedicated 3 person design team, a Project Manager, unlimited brands, and full platform access. Many competitors reserve things like dedicated designers, Art Director oversight, or brand management for their top tier plans only.
Yes, a 7 day free trial with no obligation to continue. You can upgrade to a full subscription or cancel anytime during the trial. Several competitors require upfront payment before you experience the service at all.
Most graphic design requests are completed within 24 hours, and most motion graphics requests take 2 to 4 business days. Because KIMP runs graphics and video as separate workflows, one doesn’t hold up the other.
Depends on your plan: 3 active requests with KIMP Graphics, 2 with KIMP Video, and 5 with KIMP Graphics + Video (3 graphic design and 2 video). These run in parallel, so your requests move forward independently instead of sitting in a single queue.
Revisions are unlimited on every plan. There’s no cap on rounds and no extra charge to get it right.
No. KIMP runs on flat monthly pricing with no contract, so you can cancel or change your plan without being locked in.
Yes. Every plan includes unlimited brand profiles at no extra cost, whether you’re an agency handling multiple clients or a business with several sub-brands.
Yes. KIMP includes full design ownership with source files on every request. Some freelancers and agencies only offer this at an additional cost.
Yes. KIMP offers live chat and email support (info@kimp.io) 7 days a week. This goes beyond what most competitors offer, since many cap support at 24/5 or don’t specify hours at all.
Yes, KIMP360 uses AI to help speed up parts of the internal workflow. But every request is still shaped and finalized by KIMP’s human design team, so you get a finished, on-brand asset rather than a raw AI output you need to fix yourself.
